I also agree with Jim. I see the advantages of disk brakes when I ride in the wet. I also like the simplicity and durability of mechanical disk brakes in both road and off-road applications. I have converted several bikes to front disk/rear rim set-ups, and in every case, I have changed out the fork to one designed for disk brake mounting. Building a wheel with a disk brake hub is simple and relatively cheap. But the proper mounting for the caliper and skewer both make changing out the fork necessary. If you want disk brakes that work and are safe to use, change out your fork, relace your wheel to a disk hub, and get a good mechanical disk brake.
